Lighten up your wardrobe

The Washington Opera’s production of Aida features the next wave in costuming: illuminated fabric! NPR’s All Things Considered featured the fiber optic fabric, called Luminex, on their show yesterday afternoon. Woven with fiber optic strands and with hidden microchips, battery, and light source, the fabric glows like an electroluminescent dream. Want to get noticed at the club? Try a Luminex tube top!
